I am the Lady who paints Dragons. Why Dragons? They are one of the few truly universal icons and images of man kind. Every culture as far back as we can study have believed in Dragons. They meant different things to different peoples, but always they were there. Some created the universe and our world, some just multiple bodies of water that surround us, and others the mountains and landscapes we call home. Yet still others sought to destroy, and became Gods of chaos. Religion, philosophy, myth and even history all carry shadows of the Dragon. And in our days the dragon still has a firm grip on our waking and sleeping minds. Through the written word, movies, games and advertisements Dragons still fly though our imaginations and sing in our hearts.

People ask my often if i see the dragons that I put bring into the world. I do, I see them everywhere. From the movies that I watch to the books that I read. They are always there, watching us. They have just taken a different form...

I am Carla Morrow, owner and artist of DragonLady Art studio. Using pencil and watercolor I create the images and worlds that exist in my mind, and bring them to the light so that others may share and enjoy the dragons and other creatures that I see. I have been drawing and coloring for as long as I can remember, and have always been interested in the worlds and creatures that occupy the fantasy realms. While other children were eating their crayons, I was putting mine to the walls, and while they were out playing in their yards and streets I was perfectly happy to sit alone for hours and draw. I can now draw a woman running a marathon much better than I can run one myself. When teachers asked us to draw “what you want to be when you grow up?” I always drew pictures of myself drawing...very M.C. Echer, right? As a child I enrolled in every art class I could, which wasn't many. The few that I did manage to get into I enjoyed to the fullest. I also would sneak BACK into the school building during lunches to play Dungeons and Dragons...2.0, with THACO. None of that "off campus" garbage during lunch for me! I was a uber geek, but at least I wasn't alone. Once out of high school I attended college, but the strain of wanting to stay home to do art during college parties was too much, and I dropped out quickly to pursue my own study. I have since spent the past few years seeking out all the info I could on painting, drawing, and anatomy studies. Thank goodness for YouTube and “how to Draw” books!
